Learning comes in many forms, not tied to traditional institutions. At GIT, we embrace this truth — building a community of makers, mentors, and innovators united by relentless curiosity, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and the freedom to create, improve, and help others do the same.
GIT CommunityStories about people, research, and innovation across the Cosmos Quad
GIT's Multi-Robot Systems Lab demonstrates 500-drone cooperative mapping in unstructured terrain, setting a new benchmark for distributed robotics.
Undergraduate and graduate students deploy a fleet of legged and aerial robots to navigate subterranean environments autonomously.
A 40,000 sq ft facility dedicated to whole-body humanoid manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction begins operations.
Researchers at GARL release an open-source vision-language-action model trained on 10M+ robotic grasping episodes.
